THE SHEEP
2015, 2003, 1991, 1979, 1967, 1955, 1943
Mild-mannered and incurable
romantics, the sheep loves to be taken care of. They are artistically inclined
and appreciate and respect nature. They are artistically inclined and appreciate
and respect nature. The sheep needs the security of family and views
spirituality as an important aspect in Life. Sheep-born will also walk that
extra mile in getting what they covet, especially if it is something that will
provide them security or physical comfort. They have a generous heart and can
always find some space in them to forgive and forget. The sheep's unpleasant
side however indicates that it is indecisive, dependent and cannot live without
the benefaction of a patron. They are overly secretive and don't take too well
discipline. They love to complain and prefer to pussyfoot the issue.
Sentimentality forces them to view life with rose-tinted shades.

The date of the Chinese New Year
is determined by the Chinese calendar, a lunisolar calendar. The same calendar
is used in countries that have adopted the Confucian and Buddhism tradition and
in many cultures influenced by the Chinese. Chinese New Year starts on the first
day of the new year containing a new moon (some sources even include New Year's
Eve) and ends on the Lantern Festival fourteen days later. This occurs around
the time of the full moon as each lunation is about 29.53 days in duration. In
the Gregorian calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on different dates each year,
on a date between January 21 and February 21.
